True... but why New York?
Hardware announcements are typically done on Apple's own turf.
I'd be shocked if there were any major hardware announcements at this event...

Not happening but I wish they'd announce an NFL Sunday Ticket deal with Direct TV. I'd buy a current gen Apple TV just for that this fall.

"According to sources close to the situation, Apple is planning an important but not large-scale event to be held in New York at the end of this month that will focus on a media-related announcement."
How is a new magazine "important" ?
How is newsstand update "important" ?
What do they mean by "important" ?

New York = something related to iBooks or Newsstand.
My guess? Textbooks. It was one of the things Steve Jobs wanted to reinvent.
Edit: beaten to it, missed those first few posts. Sorry.

Maybe they'll make Newsstand able to be put in a folder like other default Apple apps...
But seriously its probably iAd, iBooks, Newsstand, something related.

This is why I'm thinking maybe New York because of Wall St. and the rumor a while ago of a possibility of Apple giving out dividends to their stock holders. Here's hoping!
Or as has been previously said, something to do with iTunes subscriptions and Apple TV?
But I'm thinking more the dividend.
maybe al carte programming forTV
I can only HOPE
YES, I want an Apple TV with ESPN, CBS Sports, Big Ten HGTV, TLC Disney, Nick Cartoon , CNBC, Hallmark, WE, Animal, and Discovery and CMT + Locals and CNN/FOX News and I'm set
I hoping for movies to be added to iCloud. Free redownloads and streaming (Apple TV) of iTunes movie purchases would be sweet.
Why would they do that?
The 30% cut was never a problem for newspapers and magazines anyway... they were more upset about Apple not handing over subscriber data.

Near $100 billion in cash. Tim Cook. Dividends. Happy shareholders. Shareholders stop crying about no dividends.

Sounds viable, especially for an announcement in New York. This has been rumoured for some time.
The only media related event I could see of any "importance" that doesn't deal with a product launch is some new deal with iAds.
Will likely be inconsequential to the general public, but for those who make a living with iAds in apps, or companies looking to reach technical, young, and affluent markets it could be a game changer.

An announcement to team with at least (2) publishing houses to provide e-textbooks for K-5 at least. Formation of a dedicated "Education Book Store."
Also deals for schools with preloaded configurations of iPad for classroom use on a far larger scale using an education version of the iPad. Remember the "e-Mac?" (still have one in the basement) Well, welcome E-Pad.
